Halo 3 and GTA IV news

First up for today's gaming news extravaganza, one of the most anticipated 360 titles to date...Halo 3. Now, it's my understanding that this hasn't officially been announced by Bungie yet, but the source is fairly reliable when it comes to information such as this. After trolling around the buried stories on Digg, I came across the release date of the Halo 3 beta...which is...(drum roll)...April 15th. Apparently, Bungie isn't officially announcing the beta's release date until later this week, but there has been rumblings that the Xbox Live maintenance, which took place most of the day on Tuesday, was to increase bandwith for their estimated large amounts of downloads for the Oblivion expansion, "The Shivering Isles," and for the upcoming release of the Halo 3 multiplayer beta test. I really hope the date is legit because, as much as I'm loving Rainbow Six: Vegas online right now, a little Halo 3 action would totally hit the spot.

Last up my list for today is most likely a completely unfounded rumor, but it is still one that's causing quite a stir around the net. Theres been a little rumor going around that GTA IV is not going to be on PS3 - and yes, it is as crazy as it sounds. I myself don't really believe it is true and why should I? GTA has been one of the Playstation's flagship series...well...practically forever and theres almost no reason why it should change now. But still, people have been stating that on Rockstar's website, they have a support page built for the Xbox 360 version of GTA IV but the PS3 page is mysteriously absent. Could it be that Rockstar has stabbed Sony right in the back...or does this rumor truly prove that internet nerds (like me) really don't have anything else better to do with their time? Only time will tell...
